[ecasound] Using Gverb with pan

Hi Ecasounders,

Gverb docs (actually info from analyseplugin -- see below)
seems to say that this effect converts one input to two
outputs.

If I apply gverb naively to a one-channel input, I hear
one channel output.

ecasound -i one-channel.wav \
         -el:gverb,80,9,0.9,0.75,0,-6,-8 \
                 -o alsa,stereo

If I use a chain setup as below with channel copy and
panning, I hear reverb on both channels with the signal
panned fully left, and no output with the signal panned
fully right. (Sample chainsetup below.)

This sounds suspiciously like the symptom I read about in
the user's manual:

        5.5.3 Problems with panning mono files

Does that mean gverb outputs only a mono signal, and
therefore that I need to apply it to a mono section
of my chainsetup?

Is it possible to write a preset applying one effect
to each channel?

Is there some way to get the full two-channel goodness
of the gverb output under ecasound?

regards,

# ecasound chainsetup file
# general
-B:rtlowlatency -n:/home/jroth/ecmd/atsuko-d/session.ecs -X -z:noxruns -z:nopsr -z:mixmode,sum -t:606.238
